On Perception, Doctor Daniel Pierce (Eric McCormack) is an eccentric neuroscience professor who suffers from paranoid schizophrenia. As he helps solve complex cases for the FBI, Daniel sometimes sees things that aren’t there. More importantly, TNT’s hoping enough viewers will “be there” to give the series strong enough ratings to support a second season renewal.
Others in the TV show’s cast include Rachael Leigh Cook, Arjay Smith, Kelly Rowan, and LeVar Burton.
The first season of Perception typically airs Monday nights and there are 10 episodes.

Perception gives an interesting view into the world of schizophrenia. I live with a family member that suffers from this; it gives me a different “perception” as to what her world may be like. Great job tackling a difficult world of mental illness.
